Brittany Murphy dies at 32

Actress Brittany Murphy likely died of natural causes Sunday at age 32, a Los Angeles County coroner’s official says.

Murphy apparently collapsed in the bathroom Sunday morning and authorities are looking into her medical history, he said. An autopsy is planned for Monday or Tuesday, he said.

She broke into the business in the early 1990s with small roles in various commercials, TV series — including Frasier and Party of Five — and movies. Murphy also found work in voiceovers, including voicing the character Luanne on the animated series King of the Hill as well as Gloria the penguin in Happy Feet.

Before her marriage to Simon Monjack, she dated Ashton Kutcher, who co-starred with Murphy in the romantic comedy Just Married. She is due to appear in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables, set for release next year.
